At this time, Zhao Wei didn't know what was happening at home. He carried a basket with some food and daily necessities in it, held Yunxiu's hand, and prepared to go to his father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings!
Beside them was Da Huang.
The dog was very human-like and just followed closely behind without running back and forth or tripping over one's hands.
The two of them were in perfect harmony at the moment, and as there was no one around, they walked slowly as they strolled along the way. A journey that usually took two hours took them three hours.
By the time we arrived at Ku Shui Village, it was almost twelve o'clock and we had already missed the meal.
The mother-in-law was a mean person to begin with. Seeing this, she naturally couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Oh... I thought you guys weren't coming back. I didn't prepare lunch. You guys should cook it yourself. I'm too old to keep bothering you."
Zhao Wei couldn't get used to the food they cooked, which was neither oily nor salty. He seemed afraid that they would eat more vegetables.
Therefore, they had brought their own food with them, and on the way they built a wildfire to roast the food and fill their stomachs.
But he was satisfied with his meal, and he was very unhappy with the Yue family’s attitude.
He spent five dollars every month to support them, but he wanted them to treat Yunxiu and himself as guests of honor.
Seeing that the room was deserted and there was no festive atmosphere, he immediately said to the old mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, it seems that you think five dollars is too little and you can't afford to pay me, right?"
"If that's the case, then I'll take it back. Yunxiu and I won't come here again."
When the old mother-in-law saw Zhao Wei was about to carry the heavy basket, she was so scared that she trembled inwardly. Before she could say anything, she was slapped in the face by the man next to her.
"Who allowed you to treat our son-in-law in this way? You don't want to stay in this house, right?"
"Why don't you go and cook? Why are you getting in the way here?"
After being hit, the old mother-in-law lost all her temper and obediently went into the kitchen, but was stopped by Yunxiu.
"Mom, we've eaten on the way, don't bother."
Seeing this, the old mother-in-law stepped forward, held Yunxiu's arm, then twisted the flesh around her waist and threatened her in a low voice.
"You little bitch, you've found someone to back you up, right? You don't even care about your mother anymore, and you caused me to be beaten by your father. What's the point of me raising you? You might as well give birth to a piece of barbecued pork!"
Yunxiu's eyes were filled with tears because of the pain. However, this was her mother who gave birth to her. Even though her skin was hurt by her twisting, she did not dare to cry out, for fear that Zhao Wei would get angry and cause unhappiness in the whole family.
Anyway, I'm just coming back to sit for a while, so just bear with it.
Yunxiu thought she had hidden it well.
She never expected that when they sat on a long bench, Zhao Wei would suddenly hug her.
"Come closer, don't fall."
This touch was very serious, it happened to touch the place where her mother twisted it, and Yunxiu couldn't help but groan.
Zhao Wei immediately looked at her vigilantly.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No... I'm not feeling unwell..."
Yunxiu still wanted to keep it a secret, but Zhao Wei was such a shrewd man that he whispered in her ear.
"If you don't tell me now, don't let me find out when you return to the Cloud Queen. I hate being deceived the most. The consequences will be very serious..."
Well~ He couldn't guarantee that he would not do anything excessive to Yunxiu when he was angry. With her delicate body, she might not be able to bear it.
Maybe someone will die.
When Yunxiu heard these words, they took on a different meaning.
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, she would occasionally have nightmares, dreaming that Zhao Wei had returned to his former bad behavior and would beat and scold her after drinking.
So, he couldn't help but shiver and quickly told what had just happened.
Then he pleaded fearfully: "My mother didn't mean it, so just don't bother with her, okay?"
No matter how wrong the other party is, she is still her mother and she has no choice.
Zhao Wei touched her hand with some distress: "What a silly girl, if you want to be filial, I won't stop you, but she hit you, I can't just sit back and watch."
"Don't worry, I know my limits and won't embarrass you."
Zhao Wei's words did not comfort Yunxiu, but made her worried instead.
At this time, the eldest brother and the younger brother, who had received the news, walked into the main room covered in snow.
"Little sister, brother-in-law, you are finally back. I was still thinking about you yesterday, hahahaha..."
"Sister, brother-in-law, you are a little late. You have to drink three cups as punishment when you eat!"
…
Zhao Wei said calmly: "When eating and drinking, does the whole family sit at the table together?"
"Yes, yes, yes, of course. Adults, women, old people, children, no one is left out. What do you think?"
"I don't think it's good! My wife just stepped into the house and you guys pinched her waist and bullied her. How can I drink this wine?"
Zhao Wei's words made his father-in-law slam the table in anger.
"Damn it, this damn woman is getting more and more arrogant. She even dared to do this behind my back. Just wait and see how I deal with her."
He rolled up his sleeves, picked up a broom, and went to the kitchen to beat someone up.
Yunxiu hurriedly stood up and was about to stop him, but was pulled down by Zhao Wei.
"Why are you panicking? You can't kill him!"
"But……"
"If you do something wrong, you will always be punished. Besides, isn't it good to fight for a while and keep peace forever?"
Zhao Wei's words made Yunxiu not know how to refute.
